The Red Soul

90 minutes

Why is it that still so many Russians defend Stalin as a great leader and a hero? The Red Soul lays bare the Russian psyche of today and shows a world full of contradictions. In Russia, hardly any family escaped the hunger, fear and violence resulting from Stalin’s terror, yet no one has ever been convicted for the crimes committed under his regime. Gradually this disturbing film exposes how the Soviet past lives on in current generations in Russia.
